    Trump 62% with Latinos !!!! Doesn't seem correct somehow.

    That's the complete opposite of what I've just seen on the Ohio exit poll. Harris narrowly ahead with everyone apart from the 45-64 age group where Trump is ahead by 61-39.

    I did think the Harris campaign was dreadfully patronising for male voters.

    I think Iowa might be relatively good for Harris given she seems to be doing Ok with boomers. Pity for her it's only worth 4 EVs.
  • SandpitSandpit Posts: 54,569
    Catching up, this seems like it’s closer than 2020 at the same stage. A couple of points’ swing towards Trump, which leaves it closer overall.

    Look if Trump wins all of Europe and Canada are going to have to increase our military spending and fund Zelensky as Trump will slash his support. If not Putin could in theory march across Eastern Europe if Trump withdraws from NATO and rebuild the Eastern block.

    Trump would impose massive tariffs on imports from China and the EU and to some extent us so we would also be heading for the biggest trade war since the 1930s, especially as he will almost certainly have a GOP Congress it seems too
